I have been trying glassmilk for ssDNA, so far w/o succes. The manufacturer
(Qiagen) claims that it should work though. Unfortunately I didn't have the
time to follow up on where the DNA ends up.
What worked really well for the purification was the M13 kit from Qiagen,
and I guess one could also use this for the separation of longer ssDNA
molecules from primers. After all it is the same principle (Silica based
resin).
my 2 Pfg. worth :)
